On Friday night Peter and I had a date--we went to Kyoto then ran into the Vaicius clan at Creole Creamery. Papa Vic and Bee took B to Nacho Mama's for dinner and she had a ball.
On Saturday morning we had beignets and B ate a whole one (after the piece of toast she had at home) then we headed to Clearview to see Santa. We got there and found out that Santa wouldn't be there until 11--it was 930. So we went to Target and walked around until it was time. When B saw Santa she smiled and waved and said "ho ho ho" and was so excited. Well, as soon as I put her on his lap she completely freaked out. She turned bright red and was screaming. My poor baby--and her mean parents couldn't stop laughing. The picture is priceless. I really thought B would love sitting on Santa's lap since she points him out in books, stores, and on TV and seems to love him. I guess all kids have a rough time with Santa at some point. I'll try to scan and post the pic soon. Attie, B, and I had lunch. The pregnant ladies were craving Mexican food so we went to Nacho Mama's. B is becoming a regular there. She loves the food and ate all of my black beans, some chicken, cheese, tortillas, and rice. Peter went to Attie & Beau's to watch the LSU game. B and I hung out and read Christmas books and played. P and I stayed up late watching football and P started getting excited about the possibility of LSU playing in the Nat'l Championship Game. Needless to say, he was ecstatic when it was announced on Sunday that they would.
On Sunday morning B and I went to Marme's for Attie's birthday breakfast. Afterwards Marme, Attie, Katie, and I went Christmas shopping and to lunch. We had a wonderful day! B did some tricks in honor of Aunt Attie--she said "Marme" (she usually just calls Marme "Mmmmmmmm") and "Katie" for the first time (she had said Katie once before but this time it was really clear). Not to be outdone, Baby Bourgeois kicked for the first time. It's such an amazing feeling.
Yesterday we went to Music class and B played at the Parenting Center with her pals. Afterwards we went to PJs. In the afternoon my sciatica was acting up and I fell in the kitchen. Luckily Marme got home early from work and heard me hysterically crying and ran over to help me. Katie came over to help too until Peter got home. Thanks, ladies!!! And thanks, Peter, for taking such good care of me.
I hope it isn't a loooooooooong day. I really wanted to take B to the Parenting Center and go grocery shopping and make P a roast and clean up, but instead I'm stuck lying down on the sofa watching my baby entertain herself--she's doing a good job so far.
I can't get over the fact that B has been sleeping till 7-730 every day. Those 5 am days were killing us. Hopefully we'll have a few months of sleep before the new baby comes.
B has a great trick that I forgot to mention. Peter, Beau, and Peter A. taught her how to say "touchdown" and hold up her arms. It sounds sort of like touchdown, but more like "tadooooow."

I am so jealous of that precious cape!
